Consequences of learning about international early childhood.....

There are few consequences that arise from gaining more knowledge accept for the realization that you are only one person in a huge world of needs, the realization that you can not save every child, and the fact that there is always more to know. To me these are the consequences for learning about international early childhood education and development, as well as learning about how great the need is for change and understanding when it comes to children and how they should be treated and educated. When you learn about how great the need is it is easy to get frustrated when you realize that there are so many needs, and you as one person could in no way ever meet all of the needs of all of the people. It is upsetting when you realize that you can not be everything to all of the children that have needs. It is also overwhelming when you see and learn all kinds of new information, but to continue learning all of the many things there are to know would be impossible because there is so much information to learn and read through.

Even through these consequences and as overwhelming as they can be it only leads me to wanting to be as much as I can and positively impact as many lives as I possibly can. I has set my goals high, and I know I will someday accomplish them one step at a time. I want to be a voice for the children in my community and possibly become a voice for the children in my county, state, and maybe even in my country someday. I will do this. I will help to form policies that are conducive to the needs of children, and not harmful to them. I will find a way for the children and families who need it to obtain quality care for their children at a price that they can afford. They will be able to work, and not have to worry about where their kids are or what they are doing. This is something that I will do. Although there are many state and federally funded programs they do not help all who need it. The main problem that I see is that only the people who fit the proper standards and work hours. The parents who work nights, or weekends, and possibly holidays, do not have any options for care. This will change in my community, I will see to it.
